The translation tools Drupal 7+ look quite good. On the flipside there's much discussion of Pootle[1] I was more thinking of splitting out the core site functions (Classic CMS with feeds) from some other components that are separate apps in a way. Anyways I'm meeting with Dave (my Drupal coworker

Check out companies already offering support contracts for FOSS tools, EnterpriseDB, 2nd Quadrant, Oracle (for MySQL), OpenGeo (Boundless), etc... I think most of them have contracts (or at least a Terms of Service document) available online. At the last FOSS4G in Nottingham, most vendor stands

Thanks for the comments Frank. I'm familiar with scope of services, but I'll probably want a simple contract as well. I can work something up from scratch, but I thought I would see what other people were using. Landon On Fri, Sep 27, 2013 at 2:53 PM, Frank Warmerdam wrote: > Landon, > > As a c

Landon, As a consultant, I never actually proposed a contract. When it was up to me, I'd just write up a statement of work. Sometimes I had to sign contracts created by the clients of course. For the most part open source geospatial isn't different than any other business. The one item I was al

I agree that it would be great if OSGeo would participate. The best would be to have a champion, ideally based in UK, to coordinate OSGeo's involvement and be the liaison between the organizers and the rest of the OSGeo community. Any volunteer? Daniel On 13-09-26 9:17 AM, Arnulf Christl w

[OSGeo-Discuss] Sample Contract for Open Source Software Services

2013-09-27 Thread Landon Blake
I hope to launch a start-up offering services based on some open source geospatial software in the next couple of months. I would like to know if anyone from the OSGeo community would be willing to share a sample contract for open source software services with me. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

agreed - we should keep implementation options open at this stage, I'm equally happy with Django and I'll try to help with other options if they're chosen. I'll do some investigations into Drupal 8's multilingual support and see if it supports the following requirement: "We have to keep in mind th

Ian, That plan is I think the same conclusion I had reached. That some parts of the site simply need to be recoded, and I would open that it does not necessarily have to be drupal if we have experts in other platforms willing to jump in, things like the Service directory can easily be django or ot

Thanks Alex, Frank. I'm happy to leave the project management tools (basecamp) alone and lean more on SAC. I'm also keen to make extensive use of the wiki pages and to fill in missing documentation as we go. Looking through our custom Drupal modules I believe that we're unlikely to find an upgrad
